Week 17: Oakland Raiders
. The schedule is fairly competitive and the Jets just aren’t that solid. Could this season be any better for the disappointing New York Jets? What hope do Jets fans have? The Jets seem to be a team of players that just can’t get the job done. Week 1 against in Tennessee is no gimme and neither is week 3 in Buffalo. Now, they have a new coach. Will these guys contribute enough to get the Jets winning again? The Jets picked up Anthony Clement, Brad Kassell, Andre Dyson, Tim Dwight, Trey Teague, Matt Chatham, Tim Dwight, Kimo von Oelhoffen and Patrick Ramsey. They will most likely lose in weeks 2,4,5 and 6 for sure. Sure, some other players left, but those where the more mentionable players.

It’s very hard seeing this Jets team win more than 4-6 games. You would think that a team that only won 4 games would shed some more weight. Will anything change for the better or will this be another year they struggle, but this time under a “new” system?

Despite losing 12 games, the Jets didnt lose many players. It’s conceivable that this Jets team will be 0-6 or 1-6 going into week 7 against the Lions. I wouldn’t say that any one of their four wins were impressive performances. Any game that is viewed as potentially soft is followed up by one that’s probably not winnable for this team. Adding Ramsey will help when and if Chad Pennington gets hurt again, which seems to be very likely. It might be too much for the Jets to win both on the road with all the other tough games surrounding these dates.

To try and improve, the Jets went out and picked up some new players. They really don’t get any breaks. Their four wins came against the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Bucs, Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills. In the offseason, they lose Kevin Mawae to Tennessee, Jason Fabini to Dallas, John Abraham to Atlanta (via a trade) and Oliver Celestin to Seattle.
